  • Patent number: 12094472
    Abstract: Methods, systems, and apparatus, including computer programs encoded on computer storage media, for detecting hotwords using a server. One of the methods includes receiving an audio signal encoding one or more utterances including a first utterance; determining whether at least a portion of the first utterance satisfies a first threshold of being at least a portion of a key phrase; in response to determining that at least the portion of the first utterance satisfies the first threshold of being at least a portion of a key phrase, sending the audio signal to a server system that determines whether the first utterance satisfies a second threshold of being the key phrase, the second threshold being more restrictive than the first threshold; and receiving tagged text data representing the one or more utterances encoded in the audio signal when the server system determines that the first utterance satisfies the second threshold.

  • Patent number: 12093219
    Abstract: The techniques disclosed herein enable users to receive visits from other users in a desktop environment and initiate communication sessions using a drag and drop gesture input to move virtual representations or avatars of other users. For instance, by dragging and dropping an avatar into a file, the user can select the file for sharing and the system can automatically grant appropriate permissions to various users who are invited by the gesture input. The user can additionally grant other users' permission to edit the shared file which is reflected in an update to each user's permission data. In this way, users can communicate and collaborate directly form the social space of a desktop without opening a communication application. Other features include suggestions for files to share based on the context of a conversation, presenting contextual information alongside each user's avatar and suggesting other shared spaces to explore.

  • Patent number: 12089865
    Abstract: An articulating rotary cutting tool configured to articulate a distal cutting tip upon a trigger being operated. The trigger can be locked into various articulating positions. The velocity of rotation of a cutting bit is substantially constant in both articulating and non-articulating positions. An articulation joint is one of a hex ball joint or a flexible spring joint. A button is included to release a locking pressure holding the trigger in a locked position. The trigger may employ articulating sliding surfaces that provide constraint to a flexed head in both directions of articulation.

  • Patent number: 12096030
    Abstract: Aspects of the disclosure provide a method and an apparatus including processing circuitry for video decoding. The processing circuitry determines a transform candidate for a block in a current picture from a group of transform sets based on one of a feature vector {right arrow over (F)} or a feature scalar S extracted from reconstructed samples in one or more neighboring blocks of the block. Each transform set of the group of transform sets can include one or more transform candidates for the block. The one or more neighboring blocks can be in the current picture or a reconstructed picture different from the current picture. The processing circuitry reconstructs samples of the block based on the determined transform candidate.

  • Patent number: 12096095
    Abstract: Systems and methods are directed to generating a synoptic video from one or more documents. The system receives an indication to generate the synoptic video and in response, accesses the one or more documents and user preferences of a user that are derived by the network system. The one or more documents are analyzed to determine relevant text content, whereby the analyzing includes tagging the relevant text content. Based on the user preferences, the system generates the synoptic video that summarizes the tagged relevant text content. The content and style of the synoptic video is based on a user style indicated by the user preferences. For example, the user preference can determine a depth of the summarized content, a type of audio or text used, an amount of images to provide, and an amount of summarized text to provide. The synoptic video can then be displayed to the user.

  • Patent number: 12092164
    Abstract: Various methods and systems are provided for an dual-faced clutch collar for a transmission. In one example, a dual-faced clutch collar positioned on an output shaft of a gearbox comprises a clutch collar spline, where the clutch collar spline mates with the output shaft; a first face having a first set of axially protruding teeth to engage a high torque coupling, the first set of teeth having a first profile; and a second face having a second set of axially protruding teeth to engage a low torque coupling; the second set of teeth having a second profile; the second profile being different from the first profile. The first profile may be a courser tooth profile, to allow for maximum load carrying capacity, and the second profile may be a finer tooth profile, to allow for quicker gear engagements and more neutral space (e.g., due to reduced tooth depths).
